Adam Smith wrote that it takes deliberate untraining to remove a street sweeper’s child’s potential for brilliance.

After the Civil War the minds, ingenuity, and spirits of those dwelling in the only country on earth founded on unbounded liberty began to be imprisoned by central planners and revered “experts” in academia.

Thus arrived the onslaught of collectivism and government monopoly compulsory schooling to prevent an unmanageable social order and to groom people for the emerging industrial economy.

This was especially “necessary” amidst the flood of immigrants and the burgeoning quantity of independent thinkers and entrepreneurs.

The Biblical first principles that catapulted Americans to miraculous prosperity, effective government, and incomparable ingenuity were largely trashed by the time of Woodrow Wilson (a deceived academic like President Obama), who openly described his disapproval of our founding documents.

Progressives, and some Evangelicals, condemn the idea of “self interest” and individualism as militating against the “common good” and “fairness.”

Time to detonate this mind trap and extricate people from complacency about the onslaught of cultural Marxism, fiscal suicide, a parisitical administrative state, and the numbing effect of public schooling, television, main stream media, “intravenous” music streaming, video games, Facebook and artificial forms of recreation.

Fanning the Flames of a First Principles Counterrevolution

--53 year follower of Christ, 27 year husband, 25 year father of five. Ski, climb, backpack, photograph, coach soccer, hunt and home in SW Colorado. Part of a great church family (http://gracemontrose.org/). Involved in Convention of the States (http://conventionofstates.com/).

--Telecommuting applications developer with 13,000 other employees providing technology and analytics helping transform the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of insured healthcare such as the provision of personnel and technology for a large hospital network and preventing extensive provider fraud.

--I believe very few people comprehend how much Progressivism, which began with Teddy Roosevelt, has undermined the rule of law and imposed secular humanism and collectivism. In fact, the very aggressive secularist/ materialist impact of public schooling and political correctness has greatly diminished the consciences and reasoning of most Americans. It's no longer "permissable" to hold a theistic or Biblical worldview.

--Very few grasp the 27 principles of liberty that created a miraculously prosperous, enviable and ethical society as detailed in the book The 5000 Year Leap. Too few know the constitutional role of government or the documented purpose of the Constitution, nor how Progressivism and Cultural Marxism have intentionally eaten away Natural Law, the Judeo Christian ethic and the traditional family.

--I also believe that Christians must uphold the importance of counter-cultural love-based groups of genuinely growing friendships which are the essence of true Church life, as modeled by Jesus; without religion, performance, legality and structure (http://thegodjourney.com/2013/11/22/how-it-all-went-wrong-2).

--Don't miss out on loving community in Christ, which will last for eternity...and the experience of God's ultimate purpose...sharing His glory with you.
